Preparing Images for Thermal Label Printers (Rollo/Zebra)

By Image Size Compress Team

Thermal printers don't use gray ink. They either burn a dot or they don't. If you print a color JPG, the printer tries to 'dither' it, often making text unreadable.

The Threshold Method

For best results, convert your logo or label to a pure Black & White PNG. Use our PNG Converter to ensure no compression artifacts (noise) appear as stray dots on your label.
